Last time Denver won the Super Bowl they had to beat the Patriots in the AFC championship game. If any of you watched that you might have noticed something. Tom Brady actually looked confused on occasion and threw two interceptions. What does that have to do with the Rams Pats game you ask ? Wade Phillips. DC for Denver now DC for the Rams. Rams by 5
I hate both these teams. I really don't want to see the Pat's win it yet again. But if the Rams win, their super bowl win will have an asterisk mark over it *. Because we all know that Saints should be in it and not Rams. Terrible how blown calls can make these games not fun to watch and send the wrong team to the Bowl. Two refs right there and they still can't make the right call. A call that is game changing, career changing, ....life changing call!
Think the Patriots have it this time. The rams have a very good squad, but this season the Patriots have shined in the dullest of moments. Think it will actually be a wider margin of victory than people think. 17 points....and yes I could be wrong but that's life
Yes that was impressive how blind can be refs at that level of sport but that's the sport and need to deal with that...ChiTownRon said:
From these two teams I hope the patriots will take it home they deserve it after last year super bowl
Nuther Old Guy Super Bowl
Unfortunately I think the "old guy" Brady will be winning another Super Bowl this year...go figure. Quite the organization the Patriots have become. They remind me of the era of 49er, Cowboys and Steelers greatest teams. Should(hopefully) be a good game with a key turnover being the difference. Enjoy the game...birthday AND Super Bowl party here!Max Diver said:
I hate to say it, but I think the Pats win this one.
I've got nothing but respect for Wade Phillips, both as a DC and for his social media skills. Legend, one of the best there is.

That Denver team that crushed Brady's soul was probably a lot more talented than this Rams defense. Yes the Rams have Aaron Donald and some other good players, but that Denver team was stacked top to bottom and front to back. They were the #1 ranked overall defense per DVOA that year, the #1 pass defense (also per DVOA, with daylight back to second place), and the #4 ranked rush defense too just for the lulz.
The Rams this year are the #19 ranked defense. #9 against the pass, so that's not bad, but #28 against the run. Wade Phillips is very good, but he's not working with the same tools this year that he's had in the past.
While I kind of agree about the asterisk, I'm pretty much over it at this stage. And I'm saying that as a Saints fan.
